What does it mean to "have an attitude of gratitude" and how can gratitude change your life?

To me, gratitude is being thankful for everything in our lives...the big things and the small things alike. This includes the people in our lives, the lessons and challenges we go through, as well as the things that bring us joy and comfort and happiness.

Being grateful also means not taking anything for granted and accepting and appreciating what we have and who we are RIGHT NOW. Practicing gratitude on a daily basis acknowledges all of the blessings in our life...and brings more things into our lives to be grateful for. I am SO grateful for all the wonderful things in my life!! What are you grateful for?

So, make a conscious effort every day to be thankful for the wonderful people and things in your life...take nothing for granted. :)

Have a day filled with gratitude, my friends!

Everyone goes through times when they feel discouraged or frustrated with what they are doing, especially in the home-based business arena. And many feel like quitting…and DO quit before they even give success a chance. They want to throw in the towel at the first sign of a challenge and what they are basically doing is throwing away their dreams. They don’t know that in order to succeed…you must persist.

So what do you do when you feel like quitting? My advice to you…don’t.

Having the power of persistence is key

No matter what business you’re starting or how long you’ve been in your current business, no matter how successful you’ve been…you will still find yourself discouraged when things don’t go the way you expect and in the timeframe that you want. That’s just the way it is…nobody gets it right the first time. But you have to have the perseverance, the persistence, the sheer stubborn determination to keep going, to fight through, and to get up and keep doing whatever it takes again, day after day.

Is it always easy? No, but it is rewarding and you will have such a feeling of accomplishment if you stay persistent and never give up on yourself.

Here are some famous people who didn’t give up…who stayed persistent because they believed in their dreams and the power of persistence.

So the bottom line is this…you have to be persistent enough to get you through the times when you just feel like throwing in the towel. And trust me, there WILL be times you feel like quitting…but if your purpose is strong enough, and you’re determined to stay persistent no matter what, it will drive you to keep going…and you will find success. You can do it!

The vast majority of people living in the “Cubicle Lifestyle” simply lack the CONFIDENCE and BELIEF in themselves to create something more powerful in their life…

Viral Blogging System

The Viral Blogging System was designed by marketers, for marketers. When you buy the blog for $25, it comes ready to go and is set up for marketing online. A lot of people will pay thousands of dollars to have a blog designed…usually by a designer…and later find out that most designers do not understand how to market. The EN Blogging System has a slick looking design (just look around this page), is fully customizable to your needs, and is set up to be optimized for your online marketing, if you buy it with the intention to use it for that purpose. Many people use it for personal use, or to market other businesses because it is much quicker, easier and ultimately more affordable than getting a self-hosted blog set up (when you consider everything it takes to set-up and host a blog, such as: monthly hosting fees, design costs, programming costs, and any additional services your outsource such as SEO and anything customized).

Inner Circle Mastermind

So what exactly is the Inner Circle Membership? The answer to this is simple. The Inner Circle Membership is “Mindset Training.”

The Inner Circle is a collection of audios put together by successful entrepreneurs, to help you put positivity into your brain in your down time. They are meant to be listened to while you are in your car, or jogging, cleaning the house, exercising, or just about anything else you can think of. We all know the importance of having the proper mindset.

Costa Rica Intensive

A couple of years ago, in the mountains near the beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, a small, tight-knit group of incredible online marketers got together to share their secrets with a select few.

Everybody that attended paid $2,997 plus airfare to fly to Costa Rica, just so they could get a chance to learn from those that were getting the results that they desired…and it’s yours for a fraction of the cost of what they paid.

15K Per Month Formula

The “Purpose” of the $15K Formula is to show you as many marketing strategies as possible, so that you can choose for yourself what strategy is going to work best with your personality to promote your whatever business you’re currently promoting.

The $15K Formula is an educational product that is taught by successful business leaders that are creating amazing results, and will show you exactly how they did it.

I just finished reading the book by Dale Carnegie called How To Win Friends And Influence People.

What an amazing book! If you haven’t read How to Win Friends And Influence People yet, I would highly recommend you do as it is a great read and packed full of principles and truths teaching how to effectively deal with other people in order to bring them over to your side…to win them to your way of thinking. I believe it’s one of the best books ever written…no wonder it has sold over 15 million copies and is translated into almost every language.

Now, don’t let the title fool you…it may sound a bit insincere, but as you begin reading you’ll soon see it’s very sincere and will be very valuable in your daily dealings with other people. You’ll pick up some gold nuggets that help you in your business, if you’re interviewing for a new job…and just in life in general.

Here is a quick breakdown of the Principles:

How To Win Friends And Influence People:

Fundamental Techniques in Handling People
1. Don’t criticize, condemn, or complain.
2. Give honest and sincere appreciation.
3. Arouse in the other person an eager want.
4. Never show others that you are not interested in what they have to say.

Six Ways to Make People Like You
1. Become genuinely interested in other people.
2. Smile.
3. Remember that a person’s name is, to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
5. Talk in terms of the other person’s interest.
6. Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.

Twelve Ways to Win People to Your Way of Thinking
1. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
2. Show respect for the other person’s opinions. Never say “You’re Wrong.”
3. If you’re wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
4. Begin in a friendly way.
5. Start with questions to which the other person will answer yes.
6. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
7. Let the other person feel the idea is his or hers.
8. Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.
9. Be sympathetic with the other person’s ideas and desires.
10. Appeal to the nobler motives.
11. Dramatize your ideas.
12. Throw down a challenge.

Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment
1. Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
2. Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly.
3. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
4. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
5. Let the other person save face.
6. Praise every improvement.
7. Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
8. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
9. Make the other person happy about doing what you suggest.

By reading this book and applying the Principles outlined, you’ll learn how to make people feel “valued” rather than “used and manipulated”…and ultimately win them over to your side.
